Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa, Cape Town

$$$$

Concierge.com's insider take:

This smart hotel is poised above the Atlantic rollers on the beach road between Camps Bay and Llandudno. The rooms, a modern take on colonial decor done in earth tones, are in four low-slung wings, two on each side of the main house. The 24-hour café dishes up a light California-influenced menu around the clock (so jet-lagged new arrivals can enjoy breakfast any time). The Azure Restaurant serves excellent food using local organic ingredients, and the spa has state-of-the-art treatment rooms. The hotel's 16-seat cinema shows movies five times a day, and you can access nature trails around the base of Table Mountain and picnic spots from the hotel grounds. Complimentary shuttle service is available from the airport.

From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:

This all-white nautical landmark "straddles the sea and the wildflower-strewn foothills of the Twelve Apostles Range." Guests "love the fresh flowers in the rooms" and the soap menus. Sunset views from the Leopard Bar are "indescribably beautiful," while Azure's menu comes with a guide to the fynbos herbs it uses. "Room service surprised us with a delicious birthday cakewithout prompting."
